Cardinals to interview former Giants HC Ben McAdoo for offensive job

The Arizona Cardinals and new coach Kliff Kingsbury are earnestly engaged in forming a coaching staff for the first-time NFL coach. He and general manager hope to add some experience at the coordinator positions and, for offensive coordinator vacancy, Kingsbury wants someone who can help him blend his offensive concepts with NFL concepts.

Some names have begun to emerge, with one experienced coach set to interview with Arizona for the spot at offensive coordinator.

According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, former Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is to interview with Arizona for the job.

Former Giants coach Ben McAdoo will interview for a spot on Kliff Kingsbury’s staff in Arizona, per source. Kingsbury seemed to indicate Wednesday he was looking for a veteran coordinator. Remember, McAdoo had success as OC w/Giants in 2014-15, guiding 10th + 8th-ranked offenses.

McAdoo, fired after the 2017 season, was head coach of the Giants for two years after he was promoted from offensive coordinator. He was OC for two seasons and has coached a number of positions in the NFL, including quarterbacks for the Green Bay Packers in 2012 and 2013.
